The Wicked Sovereign

Jun Siheon found himself trapped in a dark and eerie place. He was disoriented and scared, and the darkness seemed to be closing in on him. "Where am I? Why is it so dark?" he wondered. He tried to check his surroundings, but it was a vast area and the ground felt like it was made of glass. He walked straight to find a wall or something to hold onto. He walked in the dark, pitch-black place for a long time, but he couldn't tell how much time had passed. He sighed and kept walking. He was tense and scared, and his mind got blank. He couldn't think rationally. "How big is this place? It feels like I've been walking for days and weeks." Jun Siheon finally gave up and decided to accept his fate. The moment he sat down, he saw a flash of light from behind him. He was so happy to see light after such a long time that he ran after it without thinking. He kept on running until he was finally able to see a door. He hesitated for a moment, but then he decided to open the door. As his whole body began to vanish in the air, he thought that after suffering so much, he was now going to die. As he was dying, his whole life flashed before his eyes. He was a bully in high school and never studied his entire life, due to which he was never able to succeed in his life. He was an orphan from birth and had to live in this harsh world. He chose to live as someone who reigns over others, but after he got reported for bullying, he was killed by one of his lackeys. He thought that if he got a chance again in his life, he would become the biggest villain and become the richest. Suddenly, he heard a voice. "Hey, you rascal! Don't sleep here. Get lost!" It was an unfamiliar place. It looked like an old village, and people were traveling on carriages and wearing strange clothes. At first, he thought he was on a movie set, but it looked too realistic to be a set. "Hey, kid! Get the hell out of here. Don't sleep in the alley!" someone shouted. "Who the hell are you calling a kid, fatty?" Jun Siheon replied, as he was getting annoyed by his voice. The fat man was furious when Jun Siheon called him "fatty." He tried to hit Jun, but Jun dodged and tried to punch the fat man. However, his hand didn't reach, and his hand and voice felt little weird. His hand looked like a kid's, and when he touched his face, it felt different. His legs seemed short, and his voice was like a kid's. He was covered in dirt. The fat man tried to punch again, but this time Jun managed to dodge and give a punch back. As he was always fighting, even in his childhood, he knew how to fight with a child's body. The fat man was surprised by Jun's strength and agility. He realized that Jun was not an ordinary kid. "Who are you?" the fat man asked, panting. "I am Jun Siheon," Jun replied, his voice still sounding like a kid's. The fat man looked at Jun with fear .He knew that Jun was not someone to be messed with. Jun had a fierce determination in his eyes, and the fat man could see that he was not going to back down. "Alright, kid. You win this time," the fat man said, backing away. Jun watched as the fat man disappeared into the crowd. Jun Siheon immediately ran away from the alley. Everything he saw looked like it was from a Murim novel - the structure of the buildings, the way the people dressed. He was surprised to see such unfamiliar surroundings. He ran and ran until he reached a forest. There, he saw a pond and decided to take a bath as he was covered in dirt. As he washed his face, he was surprised to see that he had a handsome face, and his looks were heavenly. But his body looked like that of a kid around the age of 10. He was confused and scared. What was happening to him? Why was he in this strange place? He had so many questions, but no answers. He decided to explore the forest and find out more about this place. As he walked, he saw strange creatures and plants that he had never seen before. He felt like he was in a different world altogether. Jun Siheon saw a group of traveling merchants being attacked by bandits. There, he saw a beautiful girl stuck in between. At first, he thought that he should let them die as he had the mentality of a great villain. But then he thought, maybe if he could save them, they could owe him a favor and he could make a lot of money. His thoughts were not about saving a life but the amount of money he could make. He rushed to fight, and most of the bandits were easy to defeat. Even the guard of the merchant was shocked to see a kid fighting like that. But then he heard a voice. It was a domineering voice that gave off a killing intent. The bandits were happy as their boss finally came. They shouted that he was a 4-class warrior. Jun smiled and said, "So what? I can still defeat him." As he rushed towards the boss, he was sent flying in an instant. The guard of the merchant held him as he was sent flying. They told him that they could do nothing against the warrior bandits, as normal humans cannot fight against them. Jun asked them to explain why it was so. The guard told him that the world of Murim is dangerous for normal people like them. The warriors who cultivate are ranked by their cultivation realm, from the lowest body refining till the highest immortality, which no one has reached in a thousand years. Each realm .has a few small levels, and each realm contains a total of 10 sublevels. The 4-class warrior was whole 2 realms higher than a normal body refiner. He had formed a core and stabilized it, and the guard was just in the body refining realm. They couldn't do anything against the bandits. Now, Jun gritted his teeth and thought maybe he should just join the bandits, but he didn't want to work under someone. He wanted to be the boss. As he thought he was going to die again just due to his greed, a heavenly-looking beautiful lady appeared from the sky. She was able to defeat the bandits in seconds. The boss of the bandits was shocked, and his head got cut flying as he shouted, "Sky Realm." The woman who had just killed him looked like a fairy with her soothing voice and thin sword that was able to cut off the head of such a strong bandit. Everyone bowed down after seeing her, but she asked them to get up and stop bowing. Jun was surprised to see this and asked how she could defeat him with such a frail body. The girl smiled and said that she was a cultivator, a warrior, and it was an easy thing for her to do. As she went flying back again, Jun had a sinister thought that maybe he could also learn martial arts and become the strongest and rule over others. He wanted to become a wicked sovereign. He hid his sinister smile from the merchant guards and looked back. He thought that the cultivator woman dealt with the bandits so the merchant would not give them any money. But the beautiful girl in the center asked him to stay. As he was leaving, she asked him to take a meal with them. He thought that he should accept the offer as his body looked fragile and as if he was hungry for days.
